Clean sheets

3.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 47.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 57.8, Klarer carries the 7th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 54 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
